Tokyo These Days

Finished

東京ヒゴロ

Shiozawa has spent his career as a manga editor at a major publisher, and now, after going into early retirement, he finds himself adrift in a Tokyo that keeps pulling him back. On his final day at the job, he rides a train he has taken hundreds of times to give some last advice to a manga creator whose work he used to edit.

Not long after, a junior editor asks for his help with an incorrigible artist who once worked with Shiozawa and now refuses to work with anyone else. The request draws him to a bookshop and back into a world he thought he had left behind.

As he moves between creators, editors and old memories, Shiozawa begins to ask what manga has meant to him: a job, a form of expression, or friendship?
